To help us learn the rules of the road, the Hu-Dad treats us for passing other dogs well. Roscoe claimed a deal is a deal even if the dog looks funny.
When passing other dogs on a trail, Roscoe can be a little challenged to behave well. To help him learn his manners, Hu-Dad treated us if we pass other canines respectfully. Now, when Roscoe passes a dog, he turns to Hu-Dad to request his treat. This has extended to dogs not on the trail, but in their own yards. Yesterday morning, Roscoe argued passing a particularly chubby squirrel in a tree was more or less the same thing, so he said a deal was a deal. Where’s my treat?

A Shark Attacked My Best Friend
June 20, 2025 - In honor of the 50th anniversary of the theatrical debut of the movie Jaws, the film that was the inspiration for these events, D. K. Wall recorded the story in audio and video. The original story was posted on October 9, 2022.
A shark attacked my best friend when I was 11. His screams were awful. The silence that followed was worse. I was alone in the ocean.
Enjoy it your way

His books pay for our food!
He’s a good student and such a sweetie.
He is such a cutie ! He should get treats anytime he wants them ??
Treats are great for training. I have created a few “treat monsters” over the years!!! Miss Ruby is by far the worst.
I may need to take your advice and use treats for my new doggie who also likes to bark at any passing dogs, squirrels, or anything that moves.
AAWW Hu-Dad-LOOK at that face. I mean a promise IS a promise although a squirrel is NOT a dog Roscoe! So-did he get a treat??
